I'll be interested to see the outcome of the tassie election, given the liberals muted loosening of the firearms laws. Media seemed to play it up in the usual "ZOMG! HOLOCAUST! END OF THE WORLD!" Don't know enough to say anything one way or the other, but at least on the mainland it seems to be all that's come out about it,bar the reported win.
Calling Leonard D Neubache? Care to comment?

I don't watch local television or even read the shit they put in my mailbox. Once you get old enough you start to realise there's no point. The M.O. of the parties is baked in, regardless of what they say prior to elections.
I don't vote based on who I want to win. I vote based on who I want to lose. Start at 20 and work my way backwards.
The real work is in insulating yourself from the fuckery and the tyranny as best you can, no matter who's in power. Focus on that and all you really sit waiting for is for the tinderbox to finally take a spark. Not that Tasmanian politics matters at all in the grand scheme of things.
Do I give a shit about voting for the party that dangles looser gun laws in front of me like a carrot on the end of a stick? Nope. I'm already better armed than 99 percent of the population, and that's not even an exaggeration. I already live in an area where I don't have to worry about home invasions. What are they going to give gun owners? Faster permission slips for guns subsequent to the first? Meh.
It's all so irrelevant.

Leonard is correct - Voting in Oz is a futile exercise, only made entertaining by voting for whatever is the most outrageous party thats on the ticket.

They're all "isolated incidents" perpetrated all by Wakandans, incidentally.
And the police seem more interested in harassing the local citizens who are trying to protect their neighbourhood.

Seems like everyone is following the same process for voting. Living in a safe seat I've pretty much been voting for the best sounding independent, then working my way from the worst up.
Few months ago Sudanese held up the nandos down the road from me with a gun. Found out through a woman at work who's relative was there. Clearly diversity is working well, as are the gun laws.
Talking with various blue collar types here, it feels like things are right on the edge just waiting for something. I can't really find the words to describe it, but Leonard is on the right track about it being a tinderbox. The Cronulla riots probably slowed thing down, but it didn't resolve anything, just delayed it while the pollies wanked on and ignored it.

I think our Wakandan problem is just to distract us from realising exactly how much of this country has already been sold to the Chinese Communist Party.

The globalists expect China and the Chinese to become the most dominant force in Australia.
Frankly this is not the worst of all plans - at least Australia won't have to battle it out with Wakanda and Islam like Europe. I expect the Chinese to move to Australia increasingly.
It will probably become the raw material and agricultural center for China - an outpost similar to Hong Kong, just with a different usage. Maybe they will also invest heavily in tourism of various sort.
I agree with Leonard that often voting rarely matters - sometimes you have massive shitlord parties, but that assumes that the population recognize them as such.
But the Chinese accession process will take decades. Though one thing is certain - when the Chinese are in full charge, then diversity problems cease to be overly pressing since those buggers know how to crack down on that fast. They are far less PC than any Western government.

Some liberal Australian and British acquaintances of mine were just discussing gun control on Facebook and talking about how much more violent American culture is. I posted the link to that article on the Victorian home invasions and they went completely silent as if I had flipped a light switch.

Can't say I'm surprised, there was a study done a few years ago that concluded our gun laws were functionally useless. might have to see if I can dig it up.

Our gun laws don't seem to stop the Lebs shooting each other up (and a few bystanders) in Western Sydney on a regular basis.

This mole hill MAY yet become a mountain!
And turns out he resigned from deputy pm! How inconsequential is aussie politics if this is such an outrage.
Can you see this happening in any other country?

‘Good people make shocking decisions’: Greens leader Richard Di Natale says ‘brainwashed’ ISIS terrorists should be ALLOWED back into Australia,” by Stephen Johnson, Daily Mail Australia, March 5, 2018
Greens leader Richard Di Natale wants ISIS fighters to be allowed back into Australia and described terrorists who had travelled to the Middle East as ‘good people’ who had been brainwashed.
Good people make shocking decisions, thus:
+ people who only rape one and murder one child should be cut some slack - they are good people who made one shocking decision
+ people who drive through one Christmas crowd with a truck should be released - what's one shocking decision among friends?
+ people who build underground bunkers and have sex with their children there while keeping them chained for decades - that is just a shocking decision of some brainwashed good salt-of-the-earth folk
+ and of course IsIS fighters who raped and killed women and children, who played football with heads of Syrian soldiers - they are just honest folk committing a tiny error in judgment

Obviously, as evinced by this bozo Di Natale garnering so much as a single vote. I can't help but feel though, that the bar on what constitutes a 'good person' is very low for certain groups of people. An abo staying out of prison, or an afghani having a job are considered saints to the greens, whereas it's just a fucking baseline for whitey.

WTF? A shocking decision is getting drunk or speeding at a highway a few times, not blowing up and mutilating random people for years!

To be fair, the real problem isn't the fuckwads who went to kill for ISIS and want to come back, the problem is the fuckwad Islamic population that's already here and breeding.

True - when hundreds leave for ISIS from the West, then that means that their ideology is shared by infinitely more people not going to ISIS. Jihadis are a tiny percentage of the population - the ones that actually go through with it. Less than 1% who believe in Jihad actually join a terror cell. The other 99%+ share and support their views, but would not risk their lives in such a fashion at least for now. When they are more numerous, then it will get easier to come out into the open.
That is why one Belgian terrorist could stay in an Islamic neighborhood for weeks even going to local shops despite his mugs being searched for across Europe. He probably had to sign a lot of autographs for having killed dozens of infidels.

Been chuckling for a few days about the situation with the cricket. In case you hadn't heard, South african cricket fans and officials have been wearing masks of Sonny Bill Williams to unsettle one of australias best players, whos wife fucked SBW in a pub toilet years back.
There's all the commentary you'd expect from our cucked media - that players personal lives should be off limits, that it's outdated for a man to get rattled by his wifes sexual past, but I keep waiting in vain for someone to accidentally touch on the truth they're all dancing around - that there is indeed shame in being a slut, and that if one should make wife up said slut, they also open themselves up to share in that shame.

Oh is that the underlying premise of it all...
Heh. Heh indeed.
When news first broke, my thoughts were that Warner came off as the bigger schmuck anyway, for not giving as good as he got, if not better.
However, I didn't hear any reference to SBW, so if that's the underlying nature of it all, I can imagine it must be touching quite the nerve of Warner...
